ORNAM ENTAL FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 558,186, dated April 14, 1896,

Application filed November 1 3, l 8 9 5.

T0 to whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALPHoNsE H. KUR- sHEEDT, a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Fabrics, of which the following is a specification. 7

My invention relates to an ornamental fabric, and has for its object to produce a fabric carrying spangles, which span gles are secured to the fabric in a very efficient manner.

To this end my invention consists in the new and useful article of manufacture hereinafter set forth and claimed.

My invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a face view of a specimen of my improved combination fabric, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view thereof,

In the drawings, Ais a section of fabric, and a a a are spangles which rest upon the fabric. It will be noted, however, that in Fig. 2 the view is greatly enlarged, and for clearer illustration the spangles are not shown as actually touching the fabric; but to all intents and purposes the spangles are in contact with the fabric. The spangles are held to the fabric byaplurality of threads 6 0, one of the threads lying on one side of the fabricA and one on the other side, Thread 1?, whose course we will now follow, passes through the opening or eye I of the spangle a, passes through the fabric in a loop, returning through the eye of the Serial No. 568,797. (No specimens.)

spangle to the eye of the next spangle a, through which it passes in a loop, 850. It will be noted that the thread 0, which is on the side of the fabric A opposite to the spangles, passes through all the loops in the thread I), so as to form a two-thread stitch, which holds the spangles to the fabric. By thus securing the spangles to the fabric I am enabled to secure a very suitable structure, as the thread I) overlies the spangles and prevents them from being turned up on edge, and at the same time, from the character of the stitch, ripping out of the threads is extremely improbable.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters- Patent, is-

As a new and useful article of manufacture,

the herein-described ornamented fabric consisting of a fabric A, having spangles upon a face thereof and secured thereto by securing means substantially as described, to wit: a

thread 6 overlying the spangles from edge to ALPHONSE H. KURSHEEDT.
